A worker in a blue and white striped shirt and checked lungi sits on a low red brick wall, cutting a granite block with a handheld angle grinder. Around him are piles of pale grey and tan cut stone slabs and rough rocks scattered on the sandy ground. Behind him, a second worker in a white shirt and pink head cloth carries a bag near a mound of sand, with bamboo stalks at left and a red boundary wall behind. The scene reads as ongoing stone masonry and site construction work.

In the foreground a man in a blue striped shirt and white lungi crouches and cuts a grey granite paving stone with a handheld angle grinder, sparks and stone dust around him.
